目的 探讨不同胃癌细胞株对细小病毒细胞毒作用的敏感性差异及可能的机制。方法共选用HGC27(未分化)、BGC823(未分化)、MKN45(低分化)、AGS(低分化)、SGC7901(中分化)和MKN28(高分化)等6株不同分化状态的胃癌细胞株，用流式细胞仪分析其各自的细胞周期，H-1病毒感染后采用MTT方法检测不同胃癌细胞株对其细胞毒作用的敏感性差异，用RT-PCR来检测H-1病毒中的非结构蛋白基因(NS-1)在6株不同胃癌细胞中的表达。结果 HGC27、BGC823、MKN45、AGS、SGC7901和MKN28等不同分化状态细胞株中，S期细胞的比率分别为24．72％，30．15％，27．10％，29．03％，31．82％和33．73％。其中HGC27细胞对H-1病毒的细胞毒作用敏感；SGC7901细胞其次；MKN45、AGS细胞对H-1病毒的细胞毒作用中等敏感；MKN28细胞对H-1病毒的细胞毒作用不敏感；而BGC823则对H-1病毒的细胞毒作用抵抗。病毒NS-1的mRNA在HGC27、BGC823、MKN45和SGC7901等细胞中的表达水平较高，而在AGS和MKN28中的表达水平却较低。结论 H-1病毒的细胞毒作用在不同的胃癌细胞株中的差异显著。总体上，与高分化细胞株MKN28细胞相比，分化差的细胞对细小病毒H-1的细胞毒作用敏感性增加。其机制至少部分与分化差细胞中病毒NS-1蛋白的产生和积聚能力增高相关。未分化的BGC823细胞对H-1病毒的细胞毒作用抵抗，进一步证实并非所有的肿瘤细胞都对细小病毒的溶胞性作用敏感。     

Investigation of the sensitivities of distinct gastric cancer cells to parvovirus H‐1 induced cytotoxicity

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the sensitivities of distinct gastric cancer cells to parvovirus H‐1 induced cytotoxicity and the possible mechanism(s). METHODS: There were six distinct differentiated gastric cancer cell lines: HGC27 (undifferentiated), BGC823 (undifferentiated), MKN45 (poorly differentiated), AGS (poorly differentiated), SGC7901 (moderately differentiated) and MKN28 (well differentiated). The cell cycle distributions were measured by flow cytometry and the differential sensitivities of the six distinct gastric cancer cells after H‐1 virus infection were detected by MTT assay. RT‐PCR was used to detect viral NS1 gene expression in all six gastric cancer cell lines. RESULTS: The S phase ratios of HGC27, BGC823, MKN45, AGS, SGC7901 and MKN28 were 24.72%, 30.15%, 27.10%, 29.03%, 31.82% and 33.73%, respectively. HGC27 cells were sensitive to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity, followed by SGC7901 cells. MKN45 and AGS cells were moderately sensitive and MKN28 cells were insensitive. However, BGC823 cells were resistant to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity. The expressions of viral NS1 were higher in HGC27, BGC823, MKN45 and SGC7901 cells, and lower in AGS and MKN28 cells. CONCLUSIONS: The sensitivities of the distinct gastric cancer cells to H‐1 virus induced cytotoxicity were markedly different. In general, the poorly differentiated cells showed an enhanced sensitivity to H‐1 virus attack compared with well‐differentiated ones. The enhanced sensitivity of poorly versus well‐differentiated gastric cancer cells to H‐1 virus is related in part to the enhanced capacity of the former for NS1 protein production and accumulation. The undifferentiated BGC823 cells were resistant to H‐1 virus triggered cytotoxicity. It may further verify that not all tumor cells are sensitive to H‐1 virus lytic effects.     

KISS1 methylation and expression as predictors of disease progression in colorectal cancer patients

AIM:To examine the effect of aberrant methylation of the KISS1 promoter on the development of colorectal cancer(CRC)and to investigate reversing aberrant methylation of the KISS1 promoter as a potential therapeutic target.METHODS:KISS1 promoter methylation,mRNA expression and protein expression were detected by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction(PCR),real-time quantitative PCR and Western blotting,respectively,in 126 CRC tissues and 142 normal colorectal tissues.Human CRC cells with KISS1 promoter hypermethylation and poor KISS1 expression were treated in vitro with 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine(5-Aza-CdR).After treatment,KISS1 promoter methylation,KISS1 mRNA and protein expression and cell migration and invasion were evaluated.RESULTS:Hypermethylation of KISS1 occurred frequently in CRC samples(83.1%,105/126),but was infrequent in normal colorectal tissues(6.34%,9/142).Moreover,KISS1 methylation was associated with tumor differentiation,the depth of invasion,lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis(P<0.001).KISS1methylation was also associated with low KISS1 expression(P<0.001).Furthermore,we observed re-expression of the KISS1 gene and decreased cell migration after 5-Aza-CdR treatment in a CRC cell line.CONCLUSION:These data suggest that KISS1 is down-regulated in cancer tissues via promoter hypermethylation and therefore may represent a candidate target for treating metastatic CRC.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-Aza-CdR( methylation transferase inhibitor) on the expression levels of leptin gene in chondrocytes and methylation states of leptin promoter region between osteoarthritis (OA) group and control. Methods The chondrocytes in osteoarthritis group were treated with 5-Aza-CdR with different doses and time-points, and the expression level of leptin was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction for picking up the optimum dose and time-point. Next, the chondrocytes in 5 osteoarthritis patients and 5 control patients (amputation due to severe trauma) were treated with 5-Aza-CdR. Lastly, leptin mRNA expression levels in the four groups osteoarthritis and control chondrocytes treated with/without 5-Aza-CdR were measured by real-time PCR and the methylation state of promoter region ( - 280- + 79) was detected by epityper quantitative DNA methylation analysis. Results ( 1 ) After treating the chondrocytes in OA groups with 10 μmol/L 5-Aza-CdR for 72 h, the mRNA expression levels of leptin were increased significantly. ( 2 ) The mRNA expression levels of leptin were significantly different among the four groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), and the chondrocytes in osteoarthritis groups treated with 5-Aza-CdR showed a marked induction of leptin mRNA expression. (3) Analysis of quantitative methylation data using an unsupervised hierarchical clustering algorithm, showed that methylation patterns of leptin promoter was different between control and osteoarthritis chondrocyte treated with/without 5-Aza-CdR. Conclusion Demethylation of leptin promoter might up-regulate leptin gene expression level and it might contribute to osteoarthritis.

目的探讨胃癌细胞中抑癌基因PTEN5’启动子区CpG岛甲基化状态与其蛋白表达的关系。方法采用甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应（MSP）方法检测不同分化程度的胃癌细胞（HGC-27，MGC-803，BGC-823，SGC-7901）中PTEN基因启动子区域甲基化状态。并通过Western blot法检测该4种细胞中PTEN蛋白的表达。结果除SGC-7901外，其他三种胃癌细胞PTEN基因都有不同程度的甲基化，并随着胃癌细胞分化程度的降低。PTEN启动子区甲基化逐渐增强（P〈0．01）；PTEN蛋白表达逐渐减弱（P〈0．01）。PTEN蛋白表达与其启动子区高甲基化之间呈负相关。结论PTEN基因启动子区异常甲基化可能导致该基因失活，使其蛋白表达减少甚至缺失，这可能是导致胃癌发生、发展的重要机制之一。     

ANGPTL2 expression in gastric cancer tissues and cells and its biological behavior

AIM To explore expression of angiopoietin-like protein 2(ANGpT L2) and its effect on biological behavior such as proliferation and invasiveness in gastric cancer. METHODS Western blotting was used to detect expression of ANGp TL2 in 60 human normal gastric tissues, 60 human gastric cancer tissues and gastric cell lines including GES-1, N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and pA MC82. 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) and Transwell assay were used to detect the proliferation and invasive ability of gastric cancer cells. RESULTS Compared to normal tissues, ANGp TL2 protein levels were significantly upregulated in gastric tissues, and this level was closely correlated with gastric tumor grade, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis. Compared to GES-1 cells, ANGpT L2 mR NA and protein levels were significantly increased in gastric cancer cells including N87, SGC7901, BGC823 and p AMC82. The expression of ANGpT L2 in highly malignant gastric cancer cell lines BGC823 and pA MC82 was significantly higher than in low malignancy gastric cancer cell lines N87 and SGC7901. MTT and Transwell experiments indicated that the proliferation rate and invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was faster than in cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank controlcells, and the invasive ability of stable overexpressed gastric cancer cells was higher than that of cells transfected with Lv-NC and blank control cells.CONCLUSION ANGp TL2 contributed to proliferation and invasion of gastric cancer cells. In clinical treatment, ANGpT L2 may become a new target for treatment of gastric cancer.

Activation of Akt and ERK signalling pathways induced by etoposide confer chemoresistance in gastric cancer cells

AIMS: To identify whether phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular-regulated protein kinases signalling pathways are implicated in the chemoresistance of gastric cancer and to explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and BGC823 were exposed to etoposide, Wortmannin+etoposide or PD98059+etoposide. Cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis were detected using flow cytometry and Hoechst 33258 staining. Cells viability was determined by a colourimetric assay utilising 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). Akt activity was detected using non-radioactive immunoprecipitation-kinase assay. Western blotting was exploited to evaluate the level of phosphorylated ERK1/2 and expressions of c-Myc and p53 protein. RESULTS: Etoposide suppressed the viability of SGC7901 and BGC823 cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner; PD98059 and Wortmannin were able to enhance the cytotoxicity of etoposide. The apoptotic levels of cells treated with Wortmannin+etoposide or PD98059+etoposide were significantly higher than those of cells treated with etoposide only. Phospho-ERK1/2, Akt activity and expression of c-Myc were significantly induced by etoposide in a time-dependent manner; moreover, there was a weak effect on the expression of p53 protein. Both Wortmannin and PD98059 elevated the level of p53 expression strikingly, however, only PD98059 suppressed the up-regulation trend of c-Myc expression induced by etoposide. CONCLUSION: Chemotherapy reagent activated phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt and mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular-regulated protein kinases signalling pathways, which decreased the chemotherapy sensitivity of gastric cancer cell lines SGC7901 and BGC823 via suppressing the expression of p53 and enhancing the expression of c-Myc. This may be one of the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer chemoresistance.     

Activator protein-1 involved in growth inhibition by RASSF1A gene in the human gastric carcinoma cell line SGC7901

AIM：To investigate the role of Ras association domain family protein 1 isoform A （RASSF1A） in gastric tumorigenesis. METHODS：Through over-expression of RASSF1A gene in the SGC7901 cell line which was induced by a lipofectamine-mediated gene transfer approach. Activator protein-1 （AP-1） DNA binding activity was measured by electrophoretic mobility shift assay （EMSA）. RESULTS：Compared with the control clones, cells over- expressing RASSF1A exhibited significant inhibition of cell growth with G1 cell cycle arrest in vitro and in vivo. The over-expression of RASSF1A significantly inhibited AP-1 activity in SGC7901 cells （0.981±0.011 vs 0.354±0.053, P〈0.001）. In addition, both Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry demonstrated that RASSF1A down-regulated the expression of c-Fos （0.975± 0.02 vs 0.095±0.024, P〈0.001） but not c-Jun.
CONCLUSION： Over-expression of RASSF1A inhibits the growth of SGC7901 cells by negatively regulating the AP-1 activity, the latter in turn negatively signals cell proliferation.
